Because I believe in what's written in the Bible. Simple as that.

So "belief" in this case requires that you take this story as a literal occurrence?

How or why would someone, Paul in this case, who was a staunch "hater" of Christ all of a sudden be one of his biggest supporters? Something extordinary (i.e. a miracle) would have had to happen in order for him to do an about face, no?

That is certainly one possibility. There are lots of others though. Maybe something extraordinary happened to him that has a natural explanation. Why does the extraordinary event have to be miraculous by default? Maybe the story is exaggerated or allegoric. Maybe the story didn't happen at all.

How did you come to choose so certainly from all of these possibilities when you have the same information that I do?

I take that as a literal occurance & accept it on faith.

How do you come to choose to believe all of those 'critical thinker' authors that you & alot of others love to quote when trying to convince me & other Christians that we are wrong & that the 'critical thinker' crowd is right? What makes them so special?

In a nutshell, that's my position. That's your position. We're on 2 different sides of the coin & it will most likely remain that way unless something changes.
